After allegedly offering sex acts for a fee to an undercover Rockland police investigator, Alison Hunter, 27, of 63 Franklin Avenue, Rockland, was arrested on the charge of “sexual conduct for a fee.”

Hunter was released on bail and is awaiting trial.

According to police, the department was working in conjunction with the Massachusetts Division of Professional Licensure on the case.

On Jan. 29, the two entities “conducted an investigation into illegal prostitution being conducted at 63 Franklin Avenue,” police said.

According to a police statement, “As part of the investigation, it was learned that (Hunter) was offering massage services on the Internet which were not sanctioned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was also learned that sex acts were being offered as part of the fee.

“Based on that information, (investigators) conducted an undercover operation which included a meeting of the alleged suspect…at the meeting the suspect offered sex acts for a fee to an undercover Rockland investigator and was immediately arrested by nearby officers.”

Police added this is the second time in two years that Hunter has been charged with sex acts for a fee. On April 23, 2012, a similar undercover operation conducted by Rockland investigators resulted in Hunter being arrested and charged with sexual conduct for a fee.
